New Cleats?

Adidas made a great move getting RG3. It feels like they're making strides in competing with the powerhouse that is Nike.

The cleats look nice. Going to have to see the entire package to form my full opinion, but it really won't matter either way, as long as we play well in them.

IMO, Rex always looked awesome when they taped his ankles with white tape.

Not white cleats, but you get it.

 
I think I remember reading the cleats we are going with this year are actually a cheaper style. The guys felt the could perform better in them than the high end/high performance ones they wre asked to try.

 
The only thing I see about these cleats are that these are not football cleats but soccer cleats. Football cleats have a front cleat, while soccer cleats have none on the toe.

Other than that, I think these are one of the ugliest pairs of cleats i've ever seen, and i've seen some ugly cleats playing soccer for over 2 decades. I think black and red are the best and these cleats might look good as red where the white is and black for the current red parts.
They look over powered with the white. In soccer you wear white cleats, you just look foolish, and you can count on 1 hand how many players over the years you've seen with white cleats. It's my personal opinion but I believe cleats should not be white for any reason what so ever. At Creighton we had Diadora as a sponser so we had to wear their blue Brazil when we were on TV be it local or national, and I didn't like those either.

Call me traditional, give me a normal set of black Adidas cleats and maybe a little color with them and i'm golden.
I couldn't help but think of the scene from Friday Night Lights. When Boobie tells "Water Bug" he needs to wear black Nike cleats. And he's later shown taking a black sharpie to his cleats.

Anyway. I'd like to see white/red cleats worn in our away set. And, erm, in maybe even in a white on white set. *ducks*

If painting your brake calipers red adds about 30 horsepower, then red cleats should knock about 0.3 seconds off our 40 times...right?

 
This is what our skill position players should be wearing:

This cleat is insanely light weight and flexible. I think the picture of the cleats shown above is for the bigger boys - the angle makes it look like a low top, but I don't think it is.
